As one of the smug Waiheke dwellers, I can endorse the assessment of our island's micro-climate. We don't grow the best wine in the country without it. Weather bomb-schmeather bomb. Good to hear you had a swell time on Rotoroa. Oh, and if you had ever run out of booze, take a lead from the former inmates in 1914 in this delightful newspaper report: http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=EP19141031.2.133

@Ben - yes it's become very trendy with the liberal media of late it seems - I saw a magazine article the other day somewhere too. Note the correct spelling if you plan on going there though, lest you end up in a thermal wonderland :)
